Beacon Bluff P-Patch &
Community
Garden
The Beacon Bluff P-Patch and Community Garden was created from a section of Seattle Dept. of Transportation property that was never developed into a road. With grants of $30,000, neighbors created a p-patch on the lower, 15th Ave. side, replaced cracked and dangerous sidewalks with new walkways, and established a native species community garden on the upper, 14th Ave. section. These species include Oregon grape, maples, ferns, native roses, Indian plum, and rhododendrons. United Way Day of Caring participants at Beacon Bluff events have included volunteers from Washington Mutual, Microsoft, Seattle Pacific University, and other local businesses and schools. |

Seattle Night Out - Block Watches The second Tuesday in August, Seattle neighborhoods participate in the Seattle Night Out, where street parties and pot lucks give neighbors a chance to socialize and build a sense of community. From one block party in 1998, the number north of the Beacon Hill business district grew to six in 2007. From one block watch group in 1998 for the same area, by 2008 11 block watches had been established. In 2007, BAN, the South Precinct, and St. Rep. Zack Hudgins organized Beacon Hill's first block watch summit, attended by 70 neighbors. Since 2003, BAN has helped organize well-attended crime prevention community-wide meetings. |
